Saturn has a 28 year cycle and remains in
each zodiac sign for about 2 ½ years.
During its stay in each signs, it moves into retrograde on a regular
basis and about 15 degrees of each zodiac sign experience this retrograde
motion.
As discussed in an earlier post, Jupiter’s
retrograde motion works similar to the regular motion of Saturn when it is
direct. Saturn too works similar to
Jupiter’s direct motion, and the extreme teaching measures often apparent with
Saturn when it is in direct motion becomes somewhat softened when it turns
retrograde.
Retrograde motion by planets implies that
the previously experienced events or lessons may become apparent once again and
are now subject to review. Saturn moving
retrograde differs in that it normally deals with past issues and while in
retrograde, it can open doors to new things that we somehow feel familiar or
acquainted with.
Some Astrologer link Saturn with diseases
that have longevity and the duration of their affect is sometimes
lengthened. When Saturn is retrograde in
motion, often the individuals that are experiencing these illnesses feel more
carefree and worry less about the conditions in their lives. This is beneficial as any concentrated focus
will enhance an illness and will draw energy into this area. In many cases, illnesses stem from adverse
reactions to life’s events, and it is wise to challenge any obstructions that we
may have as these provide opportunities for release.
Saturn is also often linked to business in
some way and during the course of transiting Saturn turning retrograde in
motion, it is wise not to enter into any new enterprising fields. It is best to wait for Saturn to turn direct
before moving forward with new business decisions, even if you may feel positive
about the outcome. Saturn is the planet
of restraint or restrictions on constructive organization related to business
ventures. This would include searching
out a new career, entering into a study program or beginning a new
business. It is often best to wait for
the retrograde motion to have completed its course before taking action.
Locate which house Saturn is transiting through
in your birth chart as this will provide you with more information. Also check to see which house natal Saturn is
occupying. These houses will be areas of
life affected by the retrograde motion of Saturn. When Saturn is direct in its motion, these
areas will be avenues you can move forward with; however, it is wise to take
things slowly as you move forward.
If Saturn is poorly aspected in your birth
chart, the house where it is situated may require additional hard work and a
conscious effort to resolve any issues related to that area of life. Since Saturn often points towards a dominant
individual in your life (possibly that restrictive and strict parent), being
born with Saturn retrograde has been associated with that authority figure somehow
missing in your life. The most
authoritarian parent may often be away on business or the parent may actually be
missing in your life when you were a young child.
Wherever Saturn is found in a chart,
whether it is in retrograde motion or direct motion, is often an area of life
that requires more work and contains challenging conditions to overcome. It should be pointed out, however, that
Saturn is the teacher as well as the disciplinarian in the chart, so it also
rewards hard work and diligent efforts.
